Why I won't be a lot in this section

Mountains, my first love is bonsai for trees. They make a wild(erness) spot on my back porch that my legs can no longer carry me to. if I wanted more trees, then I had to grow them from seed or by propagation, cause I'm poor as a church mouse.

The walk from tree privation to "OMG" how'd I get that many trees is pretty short. Some saplings sell them selves. I never got much past (in NH) a sign at the end of the driveway every spring offering saplings for sale.

Things I would encourage any new Luther Burbank to forage for and map out are where are good crab apple trees in your county? Likewise one or more Acer Palmatum that are mature enough to be making wings.

IMO you can shop your way into starter azalea and rhodies, and make cuttings from them.

A sapling or bush in bloom talks to civilians who want to grow their own. Bloodgood japan maples are probably the biggest exception. They don't have to bloom just look good.
